Today, the diary has been confirmed as real. A week and a half before the 2020 election, a Project Veritas whistleblower provided a digital copy of Ashley Biden’s diary to National File. Covfefe Coffee Entries in the diary include the author revealing she believes she was sexually molested as a child and shared “probably not appropriate” showers with her father, some that detail the author’s struggle with drug abuse and the author’s crumbling marriage with multiple affairs, along with entries showing the family’s fears of a potential scandal due to her brother’s new home, and those that show a deep resentment for her father due to his money, control, and emotional manipulation. While the vast majority of the media ignored the bombshell revelations, perhaps dismissing their verifiability, The New York Times on Friday reported that the FBI had engaged in two raids on addresses as part of an investigation into how Ashley Biden’s diary was obtained. Read The Full Release: ‘Ashley Biden Diary Reveals Child Sex Trauma, Drug Abuse, Resentment For Joe – Whistleblower’ Published In October 2020 Despite naming both National File’s reporter Patrick Howley and the legal name of the company that owns National File, the article does not name National File at all, nor does the article discuss anything that was contained within the diary itself. Similarly, mainstream journalists when tweeting about the New York Times article, also fail to mention National File, or any of the bombshells themselves: NEW: FBI executed search warrants at locations tied to people who worked w/Project Veritas as part of SDNY investigation into how a diary stolen from Biden's daughter Ashley was publicly disclosed days before ’20 election. She was burglarized in ‘20. https://t.co/pnDYg4FQ6L — Michael S. Schmidt (@nytmike) November 5, 2021 Whoa. Bill Barr opened an investigation into the theft of Ashley Biden’s diary right before the 2020 election. Pages were published online (with little notice). Now the feds are looking into potential ties to Project Veritashttps://t.co/9wPvPqCP9u — Sam Stein (@samstein) November 5, 2021 The F.B.I. carried out search warrants in New York as part of a Justice Department investigation into how pages from Ashley Biden’s journal came to be published by a right wing website. https://t.co/uCDBZ7t3vf — myles miller (@MylesMill) November 5, 2021 The article claims that the federal investigators are comprised of FBI agents and “federal prosecutors in Manhattan who work on public corruption matters” on behalf of the Southern District of New York. The investigation was seemingly opened by then-Attorney General Bill Barr, after a Biden family representative allegedly reported in October 2020 that the diary, along with “several” of Ashley Biden’s personal items had been stolen in a burglary. This is contrary to the information provided to National File by a Project Veritas whistleblower, who explained that the diary was left at an address where Joe Biden’s daughter used to stay. According to the article, the FBI would not comment on the investigation, saying only that agents had “performed law enforcement activity related to an ongoing investigation” at two locations. In a video posted to social media, Project Veritas’ James O’Keefe notes that Ashley Biden’s father’s FBI may be setting a dangerous precedent by, apparently, pursuing criminal charges against reporters for the crime of gathering information from sources. National File has no business relationship with Project Veritas and any circumstantial geographical overlaps are purely convenient.

Re: [spam][personal][crazy] Trying to Build Bitcoin from Source
1850 it was such a small issue in the end. [inhibited: i didn't think i'd be able to do it.] the next step is to see if i can sync the whole chain, which is rare for me. they've really made the syncing phase lighter weight, i think, nowadays, unsure. i'd also like to get the bitcoin-sv chain. not sure how big it is. 1851 my raid claims it has 276G free. not that much. 3.3T are used. 1852 i'm looking for information on the bitcoin blockchain size using google. my network might be saturated by downloading the blockheaders; the result i clicked is not loading. 1853 the loaded-without-images result said the blockchain was about 360G large. so i'm either going to be deleting files or pruning it. i really want to scrub the whole chain for content, but i'm more likely to lose it to corruption or something before i do that, so pruning makes sense. it also sounds like i should be using a further harddrive, and i still have an enclosure indoors. 1855 i'm using zstd to compress some files to save space. from the cornucopia of facebook, inc. 1858 is there some magical thing that gives you infinite diskspace? there's some new tool that i vaguely recall might do something like this. it might not work for a blockchain. 1901 rclone! rclone can mount with fuse and has a variety of storage backends. i dunno if it would work, maybe it would at least work for archiving other stuff. 1904 anyway my blockchain is now updating tips so i have the space issue developing. i guess i'll stop it and configure it to prune. 1908 i had actually deleted the binary to rebuild in release mode, so stopping the node prevents restart until the rebuild finishes. oops. 1920 blockchain is syncing with -prune=$((1024*16)) i.e. 16 gigabytes of blocks are kept. and i have 3 huge files compressing with zstd, using --ultra --long -22 so it is very slow. with this compression i may have space for bitcoin-sv. i also have a blockchain folder named bitcoin-sv. it's only 2.5G large ... but uses another symlink .. which is also broken. i guess i'll try to build bitcoinsv too, maybe it has a pruned mode. 1922 1929 bitcoin sv build has started. bitcoin is at 2010-11-30. maybe there's some way to checkpoint for last-mile folks, dunno, haven't looked into it. system's pretty taxed now. 1930 a hard thing that's remaining is software to archive files on bitcoinsv. as mentioned long ago i've slightly worked on some messy software for this. it relied on apis that have since changed, so development work is needed. the current state is messy and i don't recall my plans for it. great topic for these spamlogs, since it's very hard to move forward on. might be time for another task tonight, like sleeping, unsure. 1931

Re: [spam][personal][crazy] Trying to Build Bitcoin from Source
it's 15:41
i'll look for checks for the define BOOST_FILESYSTEM_DISABLE_STATX in
the boost source code
15:41
grep -r is doing its thing more slowly than i expect. my sense of how
big boost is adjusting.
15:43 it's finding hits inside binary files. hasn't gotten to the
source folders yet.
most linuxy terminaly softwarey people have a huge set of scripts they
use to make their terminals exactly how they want. i'm not that great
at keeping track of things, so i only have a couple. the one i want
to talk about i have already talked about.
a better use of time might be speeding up this grep. since the define
is in the filesystem lib -- oops it found it! 15:44
libs/filesystem/src/operations.cpp
i'm having trouble finding symbols to isolate the presence of this
define by looking at object file contents. it's 15:48
BOOST_FILESYSTEM_USE_STATX is defined only if
BOOST_FILESYSTEM_DISABLE_STATX is _not_
it also checks BOOST_FILESYSTEM_HAS_STATX and
BOOST_FILESYSTEM_HAS_STATX_SYSCALL .
maybe i'll see if other files in this folder reference the define.
seems to be the only C source that references it here. 15:51 .
basically functions like equivalent_stat take a struct statx if statx
is enabled, a struct stat if it isn't. i guess i can check the sigs
of those funcs. 15:52
objdump -t | c++filt
h equivalent_stat is inlined. so are the other guys. hrm.
well, it looks like calls to invoke_statx only happen if it's enabled.
... but it's also inline. but it calls the real statx function! so i
can check for that maybe. i could also consider wondering why this
compiles at all on my system, or just mutate my stdlib headers.
so it uses statx, statx_ptr, statx_fstat, some combination of those. 15:56
| grep statx yields no symbols. maybe i'll check bitcoind's symbols.
h i should check the filesystm library's symbols.
let's check this gdb output again
1601 . the debugging flow is jumping between line numbers
unexpectedly. maybe i'll delete just this object file and rebuild

well i'll try linking to the debug libs. 1602
looking up on the dangerwebs how to link to boost when it's built debug. 1605
i might be able to just install the debug libs with variant=debug install
but when i do this it appears to try to rebuild everything, unsure.
nope! ... but it doesn't install anything either.
okay. i think i figured it out. 1610
re-con-fig-ur-ing bitcoind. then i can relink it. relinking! make
does more reconfiguring.
doopty-doo. 16:11.
it didn't relink it. _deletes binary_
relinking .. i see it passing the flags i requested. i guess i'll
just try debugging it and see if it looks better.
it's 16:22 and i'm stpoped at a breakpoint in boost in bitcoin.
i didn't set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and it loaded the system libraries,
not the dbeug ones =/
relaunch
yay using the local libs now. 1614
uhhh there's no debugging info. at least, line numbers aren't showing.
ok, it got me somewhere there are line numbers. 1614
it's jumping lines just like before =S i'll check the call it's jumping
oh ok. it's doing a null pointer dereference?. no. it's not.
it's skipping a call to mkdir, going straight into the calls producing
the arguments.
time to disassemble!
here's where i have it paused right now. it's 1617:

0x77f8533d <+109>: call 0x77f7b220
i'll step over that mkdir call and see what happens. this is
boost::filesystem::detail::create_directory(boost::filesystem::path
const&, boost::filesystem::path const*, boost::system::error_code*) in
boost 77 .
aw man my git-built gdb automatically displays the assembler when you
step by instruction, really nice
oh whoops my eyes are crossed. no, this is the random sourceline that
has the unrelated information. it's a call to c_str within a path
structure. i'll just keep typing disas.
mkdir returned -1 into $eax
here's what gdb shows me, classic gdb:
(gdb) ni
0x77f85342 475 const value_type* c_str() const
BOOST_NOEXCEPT { return m_pathname.c_str(); }
no mkdir call on that line due to optimization
i guess i'll look up mkdir just to know stronger that -1 means 'error
in errno'. man 2 mkdir -> yup.
1620
ok. so the internet said the problem was statx, and i'm getting a
failure in mkdir, maybe this means the call to mkdir was done in
result of a call to statx or something dunno. i'll look in the source
to see where mkdir is called.
the line with mkdir appears to be 2182.
i'll output errno
1622 and errno has unknown type, plz cast it
(int)errno is 17, i'll look that up in /usr/include

Re: Coronavirus: Thread
Putting VECTOR and DETRICK to shame... NIH Officials Allowed EcoHealth Alliance To Self-Police Risky Gain-Of-Function Experiments In Wuhan https://www.whitecoatwaste.org/ https://twitter.com/gdemaneuf https://theintercept.com/2021/11/03/coronavirus-research-ecohealth-nih-emails/ https://republicans-energycommerce.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/2021.10.27-Letter-to-NIH.pdf https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21055989-understanding-risk-bat-coronavirus-emergence-grant-notice https://www.scribd.com/embeds/537234609 A cache of newly released communications reveals that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) allowed nonprofit genetic engineering firm EcoHealth Alliance to police its own risky research on bat coronaviruses in Wuhan, China. According to FOIA documents obtained by WhiteCoatWaste, The Intercept, and the House Energy & Commerce Committee, NIH officials were concerned about risky research being done at the Wuhan Institute of Virology on a US grant. As The Intercept notes: Detailed notes on NIH communications obtained by The Intercept show that beginning in May 2016, agency staff had an unusual exchange with Peter Daszak, the head of EcoHealth Alliance, about experiments his group was planning to conduct on coronaviruses under an NIH grant called “Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence.” The notes were taken by congressional staff who transcribed the emails. EcoHealth was entering the third year of the five-year, $3.1 million grant that included research with the Wuhan Institute of Virology and other partners. In a 2016 progress report, the group described to NIH its plans to carry out two planned experiments infecting humanized mice with hybrid viruses, known as “chimeras.” NIH staff members Jenny Greer - a grants management specialist, and Erik Stemmy - a program officer in charge of COVID research, both expressed concern over the risky experiments - telling EcoHealth that their experiments "appear to involve research covered under the pause," referring to an Obama-era moratorium on gain-of-function research that could be reasonably assumed to make MERS and SARS viruses more transmissible in mammals. One of EcoHealth's experiments involved using genetic engineering to create chimeric MERS viruses, while another experiment used bat-virus-derived chimears related to SARS. According to the report, the researchers infected humanized mice with the altered viruses. Disturbingly, after the two NIH staff members voiced concerns over Gain-of-Function research, the agency allowed EcoHealth to dictate its own definition of GoF, exonerating itself of doing 'risky' research. The NIH inserted several obscure reporting requirements suggested by EcoHealth that moved the goalposts of what constitutes GoF. Of note, The Intercept writes that while the experiments demonstrate a lack of oversight and present dangers to public health, "none of the viruses involved in the work are related closely enough to SARS-CoV-2 to have sparked the pandemic," according to several scientists contacted by the outlet. In December 2017, GoF research resumed - as long as it adhered to newly created "Potential Pandemic Pathogen Care and Oversight," or P3CO. That said, language crafted by EcoHealth CEO Peter Daszak helped the nonprofit evade oversight once again. In July 2018, NIAID program officers decided that the experiments on humanized mice — which had been conducted a few months earlier — would get a pass from these restrictions as long as EcoHealth Alliance immediately notified appropriate agency officials according to the circumstances that the group had laid out. While it is not unusual for grantees to communicate with their federal program officers, the negotiation of this matter did not appropriately reflect the gravity of the situation, according to Jesse Bloom, a virologist at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. “The discussions reveal that neither party is taking the risks sufficiently seriously,” said Bloom. “MERS-CoV has killed hundreds of people and is thought to pose a pandemic risk, so it’s difficult to see how chimeras of MERS-CoV with other high risk bat coronaviruses shouldn’t also be considered a pandemic risk.” -The Intercept "It’s absolutely outrageous," said Pasteur Institute virologist, Simon Wain-Hobson. "The NIH is bending over backward to help people it’s funded. It isn’t clear that the NIH is protecting the U.S. taxpayer." Semantics In a June 8, 2016 response to NIH concerns, Daszak wrote that because EcoHealth's proposed chimeric viruses were 'significantly different' from SARS, the experiments weren't considered GoF, and should not be restricted. He wrote that WIV1, the parent of the proposed chimeric SARS-based virus, "has never been demonstrated to infect humans or cause human disease," adding that previous research "strongly suggests that the chimeric bat spike/bat backbone viruses should not have enhanced pathogenicity in animals."

They were wrong about Brexit. They were wrong about the 2016 US Presidential election. And they were hilariously, historically wrong about the 2020 election. In fact, according to a report from the American Association of Public Opinion Research, national polls from the 2020 election were the least accurate in at least 40 years. And state polls for President, Senate, and Governor races were the least accurate in 20 years. Yesterday was another Election Day in the Land of the Free. And the ‘experts’ were wrong again. Most notably, pollsters insisted that the race for Virginia governor was a dead heat. But in reality the more conservative candidate easily won by a nearly 6% margin. And in New Jersey’s gubernatorial race, the experts claimed that the more conservative challenger was so far behind in the polls that he didn’t stand a chance. Yet as of the time of this writing, the challenger has a slight lead. Both of the predictions were wildly inaccurate, just like 2020, 2016, Brexit, etc. I’m not lamenting that these pollsters are wrong. As the old saying goes, predictions are hard, especially about the future. It’s human to be wrong. I’ve been wrong more times than I can count. The issue is that the media continues to pretend that these polls are still credible. During the election season, they’re constantly analyzing who’s up or down in the polls almost like a play-by-play announcer at a football game. You’d think that no serious reporter would risk his/her credibility by even mentioning these polls anymore after so many years of terrible predictions. And yet they do. Journalists continue to take the polls seriously– especially when their favored candidate is ahead– and they’re constantly pushing these stories out to their audiences. It’s shameful and intellectually dishonest; no sensible person could possibly believe these numbers anymore. And the fact that they still do suggests that they’re deliberately putting out information that has a long-term track record of being terribly inaccurate. This is why it’s perfectly reasonable to be skeptical of the media; they prove time and time again that they cannot be trusted to present objective information. So if you are skeptical, you’re not the one with the problem. Of course, if you don’t believe everything they say, they’ll call you a conspiracy theorist. This is known as gaslighting. The term gaslighting comes from a 1938 British play called Gas Light, written by Patrick Hamilton. The plot involves a Victorian-era husband slowly convincing his wife that she is going insane. He plays tricks on her throughout the play, like turning down the gas lights around the house. When she notices the dimness and asks why the lights are down, he insists that the lights are all still on. Eventually the woman believes that she’s losing her mind– that she’s seeing things and hearing things that don’t exist– even though her husband has been manipulating her the entire time. Today, if you question the official MSNBC narrative, or disobey the Twitterati, they call you a conspiracy theorist. They call you a White Supremacist. They call you a danger to national security. This is classic gaslighting. And it’s just another lie. You’re not the one with the problem. As a final point, I know there are people who have been eagerly watching the election results and are probably overjoyed, for example, with the outcome in Virginia. For a lot of people, the victory of a more conservative candidate is a harbinger of political change in America, which suggests that the woke Marxists may be thrown out of office soon. I’m happy that you’re happy. But I would encourage you to stay rational. Hope and optimism are great. However, all too often, hope and optimism cause us to take our eyes off the ball. When we’re hopeful and optimistic, we start believing that the risks have abated and the negative trends have gone away. It would be a mistake to think this way. Better leadership is certainly a benefit. But it cannot stop a tidal wave… certainly not overnight. The national debt is still climbing higher by the day. Social Security’s trust funds are still set to run out of money within the next ten years. The central bank is still stoking the flames of inflation. And tens of millions of angry, woke Marxists still want to reboot the economy into their centrally planned fantasy. So– enjoy the happiness and victory if you’re so inclined. But keep your eye on the ball. Keep thinking about your Plan B.

More and more pieces of the overall fraud and steal that went into 2020 being exposed (just like censorship and the Fake News Media) via their continued use in 2021, add it ALL up...

Via Project Veritas: “Remember, we were allowing anyone to come in,” she said. When addressing the Veritas journalist in disguise, one of the poll workers said she was willing to provide a ballot. “I’ll let you fill out completely a ballot now. Whether or not it’s going to count, I don’t know,” she said. “Listen, we’ll let you do it.” In a governor’s race that has been called with only about a one percentage point difference separating the candidates, this behavior is at the very least questionable. Watch: It's telling how casually they break the rules. Meanwhile, as Becker News reports, an investigation has been launched into why voting machines from 56 districts were taken offline in Essex County. The latest example of voting machine malfeasance comes via the New Jersey governor’s race, where one of the closest contests in the nation has been marred by voting anomalies. This includes technical glitches with electronic poll books and reports that voting machines suddenly went down on Election Day. The votes on those machines were not even counted. “Essex County Clerk Christopher Durkin says he has a lot of work ahead of him after the votes from 56 districts were not counted Tuesday night in the county,” News 12 reported. “It’s a mix but they are mostly in Newark, in East Orange, Irvington, Maplewood, Montclair, the majority of those 56 districts,” says Durkin. #njmornings With NJ Gubernatorial race still SO close, Essex County Clerk Christopher Durkin tells me where the 56 districts in which votes have not been counted are located.

Walensky Flip-Flops: Says CDC Not Examining Changing Definition Of "Fully Vaccinated" https://www.theepochtimes.com/in-shift-walensky-says-cdc-not-examining-changing-definition-of-fully-vaccinated_4084838.html https://www.theepochtimes.com/cdc-director-definition-of-fully-vaccinated-may-change-in-the-future_4063850.html The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is not examining changing the definition of “fully vaccinated,” its director said Wednesday. “The definition of ‘fully vaccinated’ is one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine and two doses of the either Pfizer vaccine or the Moderna vaccine,” Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the director of the agency, or the CDC, told reporters during a virtual briefing. “And we’re not examining changing that definition anytime, at this point,” she added. Walensky was questioned about the definition because federal health officials recently decided to let tens of millions of Americans get booster COVID-19 vaccine shots, including everybody who has gotten a Johnson & Johnson jab. Additionally, a federal COVID-19 vaccine mandate for many private businesses was published this morning. It and many mandates across the country include the “fully vaccinated” term. The federal requirements will follow the CDC’s guidance, Jeffrey Zients, the White House COVID-19 response team’s coordinator, told reporters. The rule developed by the Department of Labor will apply to every business that has 100 or more employees. Walensky sounded a different tune last month when she said that the definition of “fully vaccinated” had not been changed but “we will continue to look at this.” “We may need to update our definition of ‘fully vaccinated’ in the future,” she added. Those comments were a shift from earlier remarks Walensky delivered in September. She said at the time that federal health officials were not considering changing the definition of ‘fully vaccinated.'” Israel recently adjusted its definition to include three doses of the messenger RNA-based vaccines and other countries like Australia have mulled making a similar change. During Wednesday’s briefing, Walensky was also questioned on whether there will be discussion on recommending a single mRNA-based vaccine dose for young children who have natural immunity, or immunity from prior infection, against the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus. Pfizer’s vaccine was granted emergency use authorization for 5- to 11-year-olds by drug regulators last week and recommended to the entire age group by the CDC on Tuesday. Some experts have called for the CDC to adjust its recommendations for people with natural immunity, especially children. Walensky said data from Pfizer’s trial indicates that the vaccine is safe and effective in young children, adding “we absolutely recommend two doses of vaccines for these children.” “We do know that after nearly all infectious diseases you have some protection from getting that infection again, but we don’t really know how long that lasts or how robust it is,” she added.

[spam][personal][crazy] Trying to Build Bitcoin from Source
Bitcoin is like using the blood of the devil to escape hell. It's a very powerful reagent but produces strange things around you, like fires and torture, and your chemotherapist may have bad things to tell you about your soul. Or wait, is that something else that does that, other than cryptocurrency? Maybe telling people what you're doing on the internet? Anyway, I'll try more to build bitcoin. It's 15:17 EDT and I'm booting up a terminal in X. Okay, I've got my tmux session loaded. The current issue that when i run bitcoind, it throws an allocation error trying to allocate a randomly huge number of bytes long string, inside boost::filesystem. I've just built boost with debug-symbols=on to see if I can find the problem. It's 15:20 EDT. I'm installing a locally built version of boost 77. I recall I already tried this, and that gcc shows no debug symbols, dunno. Right now my install command is for some reason trying to rebuild everything that was just built. I guess I'll let it finish configuring and see if it gets anywhere. It's 15:21 and i just restarted my boost configuration. BLARGH! This is an expression. it goes "blargh". It means "things are happy and joyous in the world I am imagining. Wouldn't you like things to be this way outside imagination?" [added later, see below: part of me thought this was maybe a bad idea to share, maybe skip it, uncertain:]It was pretty hard the past two days to do that libusb thing, and left me in a new state of mind.[end of maybe-bad-idea-to-share, tagging added later, see below] Ok. Boost intsalled. I'll quick try the debug thing again, then look for the libraries that are missing debug symbols, and troubleshoot why. 15:23 . My bits are saying it is inappropriate to share the "It was pretty hard the past ..." . It's 15:24 . The reason I write every tiny thing is because I was brainwashed to never tell anybody about what happened to me, or how, or store any evidence about it, or log experiences that help me understand it, or process it, or put an eeg on my head, or talk to doctors about my issues, or store records of what i do or what others say to me, etc etc etc etc. So, I have spent the past 8 years beating my well-helmeted head against a wall in attempts to preserve the most basic information about my life in order to live it at all, and have suffered extreme memory issues as my worse dissociated parts have struggled to stop this from happening ... and it is thus a huge celebration whenever some shred of information of my thought processes can be preserved in some kind of vaguely temporary record for more than 30 seconds. So, maybe the share was a bad idea, I dunno, every feeling-bit has its own wisdom. I'll go up and mark it that. [goes up and does this, it's 15:26] [i'm back, it's 15:27]. One project I'd really enjoy would be hacking a vnc-like thing to replay desktop sessions. That'd be nice. One of my parts is hitting me harder due to my desire to preserve even dangerous information. It's 15:27 and my gdb is not pausing when the exception I want to debug is thrown. In fact, it is producing a different error that I resolved earlier. Maybe I made an error building boost. It's 15:28 and i have two things that are logically simple and psychologically very difficult, to debug! Here's a monologue: meanie: karl, you are trying to preserve information, you know this is evil, we will now torture you defender: karl is good. you are bad. do not hurt him. hurting is bad. preserving is good. meanie: let me help you out a little bit. okay, technically preserving is _logically_ considered good, and hurting _logically_ considered bad, but karl and i have a relationship where occasionally i hurt him when he preserves information. defender: get back here and help us try to preserve stuff! is bitcoin a good way to do that? i dunno, but i'm trying to compile bitcoin right now. maybe this would be easier in a chroot of a system similar to one the devs use. meanie: please use the binary. mostly because it makes this faster, and because it helps me know i have another avenue to compromise your client with in ways that are hard to debug. but honestly, using the binary is so much faster and easier. karl: i probably don't have a compatible glibc for the binary, but it is another avenue, although i hear it might be more dangerous, not sure. meanie: all the hackers are gone, why are you here karl: i think i'm here because you were scared i might come here on my own, and wanted ot make sure you were in charge of it, not sure meanie: cypherpunks list? oh. right. kill all the hacktivists. death to hacktivists! karl: exactly! meanie: death to hacktivists? that can't be right. is this a trick? we're trying to build bitcoin, but instead typing random things obsessively. things that aren't random, but are very strange for a mailing list. so this new old issue (it's 15:32) um i don't expect it to happen because it is resolved by a
